Dryden’s Outlines Of Chemical Technology for the 21st Century 3rd Edition features detailed information on plant information and chemical technology for students of chemical engineering and technology.

Summary Of The Book

Chemical Engineering is the branch of science that merges the use of physics, chemistry and life science with economics and mathematics for conversion of chemicals and raw materials into other products. Dryden’s Outlines Of Chemical Technology For The 21st Century 3rd Edition covers topics like Inorganic Chemical Industries, Natural Product Industries, Orientation, Polymerization Fundamentals, Metallurgical Industries, Synthetic Organic Chemical Industries, Toxic Chemicals and Pollution Controls. It also has detailed information on the highly ranked Indian chemical industries and has detailed notes for teachers.

The revised edition has been developed over a long time while the previous editions had been based on the lectures delivered by the author at IIT-Kanpur. Additional topics on composite materials and industrial pollution controls have been added in the book by M. Gopal Rao and Marshall Sittig. The book has chapters like Inorganic Chemical Industries, Orientation, Natural Product Industries, Polymerization Fundamentals, Synthetic Organic Chemical Industries, Metallurgical Industries, Application of Computers to the Chemical Industries and Toxic Chemicals and Pollution Controls.

The book was published in the year 2010.

About The Authors

M. Gopala Rao is a professor for chemical engineering at Howard University. He obtained his doctorate from the University Of Washington. In the past, he has served as a chairman at IIT-Kanpur.

Marshall Sittig works at the Research Administration Department at Princeton University. Other books by the author are Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Encyclopedia and Handbook Of Toxic And Hazardous Chemicals And Carcinogens. He completed his Bachelors in Chemical Engineering in 1940 from Purdue University. He has worked at Ethyl Corporation and Du Pont.

The book is appreciable if you're using it for you undergraduate exam only. Most of the data and processes are outdated as the book hasn't been reviewed since 1992 I guess, only reprinted. Not useful for post graduates or working people. Shreve's Chemical Process Industries is a better opinion then.

Very much Helpful for Semester, Gate, PSU exams.. Some short out on various things are given here which is so much informative. Some basic concepts of Polymer also available. And remaining part is all about processing..
